Visitors engaged with archaeology and history through time with interactive exhibits, captivating displays, and immersive experiences. There were cultural performances with traditional dances, music, and captivating storytelling to transport spectators on a global journey.
Deputy mayor Louise Riordan described it as an ‘educational and enlightening day’.
She added: “The rich history that Dunstable holds was encapsulated by local children and adults who painted a long canvas showing the different eras that make our town so interesting. Once again, thanks to all that attended, participated and organised the event. The community spirit was wonderful.’’
